The new owners would have to be willing to restrict themselves to living the building's first storey - while renting out the ground floor for commercial use.

So effectively you're agreeing to become a landlord as well as a tenant.

The sellers say the ground floor ready to be rented right away and, "has been designed to support modern requirements for a fully functioning business environment".

And at less than a kilometre from Portlaoise Town, with easy access to trains and the N7 national road, attracting tenants to well-located address shouldn't be a problem.

Not convinced?

The sellers claim the new owners could even MAKE money each from this deal - particularly prospective buyers from Dublin.

The ad says: "In terms of a purchasing couple from Dublin, they could live in the apartment at first floor level while leasing the ground floor for a monthly income of €1,666.66 (seller’s calculations).

"This income would service the monthly mortgage repayments therefore, allowing significant savings which may be utilised to trade-up to the Dublin market in the future."
